  • the inventive device described below differs from this known device in the switching electronics 50, which are designed for a special activation of the semiconductor switch 20, as will be explained in detail in the following description.
  • the switching electronics 50 can be implemented, for example, by a processor and a memory (in particular a microcontroller), with a program being stored in the memory that configures the processor to carry out method steps which, as explained below by way of example, the special control of the semiconductor switch 20 by the effect processor.
  • the program can be part of the firmware of a processor-controlled switching device, for example.
  • the switching device shown has a parallel connection of a first mechanical (extinguishing) contact arrangement 10 with a semiconductor switch 20 based on an anti-serial IGBT arrangement (power semiconductor), which is connected in series with a second mechanical contact arrangement 30 to ensure galvanic isolation.
  • the mechanical contact arrangements 10 and 30 can be designed as a bridge switching arrangement of an air switching device or arrangement.
  • the semiconductor switch 20 is switched on or off by the switching electronics 50, that is to say it is switched on or off.
  • the electronic switching system 50 is supplied with energy stored in the (magnetic drive) coil of the switching or magnetic drive of the switching device.
  • a galvanic from the circuit of the Switching drive separate auxiliary coil 40 is provided, which can generate a voltage for supplying the switching electronics 50 when switching off the switching drive.
  • the auxiliary coil 40 can be wound around the drive coil, for example.
  • the semiconductor switch 20 In the switched-on case, i.e. when the switching drive supplies the magnetic drive coil with a voltage and a current and the contacts of the first and second mechanical contact arrangements 10 and 30 are closed, the semiconductor switch 20 is blocked, since in this state there is no voltage from the auxiliary coil 40 is generated to supply the switching electronics 50 and the switching electronics 50 is therefore de-energized and the IGBTs of the semiconductor switch 20 can not drive.
  • the energy stored in the magnetic drive coil generates a freewheeling voltage, which in turn is electromagnetically connected to the magnetic drive coil coupled auxiliary coil 40 induces a voltage which activates the switching electronics 50.
  • the voltage induced in the auxiliary coil 40 is sufficient, on the one hand, to supply the switching electronics 50 itself and, on the other hand, to build up the voltage required to drive the IGBTs.

  • the switching electronics 50 can switch this through to the IGBTs of the semiconductor switch 20, as a result of which the IGBTs are switched to low resistance (The semiconductor switch 20 is thus turned on) and to Switching load current with the opening of the (clearing) contacts of the first mechanical contact arrangement 10 commutates immediately to the semiconductor switch 20.
  • the separating contacts of the second mechanical contact arrangement 30 do not open at the same time as the clearing contacts of the first mechanical contact arrangement 10; Configuration of the two mechanical contact assemblies 10 and 30 can be accomplished.
  • the delayed opening of these two mechanical contact arrangements 10 and 30 takes place at a time interval which is greater than the current flow time through the semiconductor switch 20, which means that the formation of a switching arc between the contacts can be completely avoided.
  • this time-delayed opening of the contacts cannot be achieved, or can only be achieved with great effort, so that a switching arc burns briefly across the contacts until the current flowing through the semiconductor switch is extinguished.
  • the topography of the contact surface can gradually change due to this recurring arcing stress in an air switching device such as that described above, above all in such a way that it is due to the known significantly different mobility as well as the kinetic energy of cations and anions in the switching gap leads to a material migration with continuously changing contact surfaces.
  • one of the two contact pairs first opens during the opening process due to the opening movement of the movable electrode, which is mechanically fixed to the Switch drive is connected.
  • the load current is commutated back to a parallel-connected power semiconductor, in which the load current is led to zero in a short time.
  • the galvanic isolation in the hybrid switch is then ensured via the second pair of contacts, which preferably opens with a slight time delay.
  • This isolating contact pair is opened in such a way that a tensile force is exerted on the vacuum interrupter via the movable electrode that opens first, causing it to move in the direction of the pulling electrode until it reaches a mechanical stop. Since the second movable electrode is firmly connected to the housing of the hybrid switch, the movement of the vacuum tube causes the opening of the second pair of contacts; when the stop is reached, the desired isolating distance between the two contacts is reached.
  • the switching electronics 50 are designed according to the invention in such a way that they switch the semiconductor switch 20 according to a predetermined sequence during an opening process of the mechanical contact arrangements 10, 30 switched on and off several times.
  • an unwanted arc caused in particular by recontacting after the contacts have already opened, can be caused by commutation of its electric current to the IGBTs of the turned on semiconductor switch 20 (the IGBTs are switched to low resistance) are made to extinguish.
  • the predetermined sequence for switching the semiconductor switch 20 on and off can be implemented in various ways, as will be explained below.
  • the switching electronics can implement a fixed, predetermined sequence of switching on and off, in which the various switch-on and switch-off phases (or current conduction and switch-off times of the semiconductor switch 20 or its IGBTs) are adapted to the mechanical parameters of the contact arrangement of the respective Switching device can be adjusted and electronic parameters such as the current carrying capacity of the semiconductor switch 20 can be taken into account.
  • An exemplary predefined sequence can have the following sequential steps, which are carried out by switching electronics 50 in order to correspondingly control semiconductor switch 20 (with reference to in 3 shown flow chart of an exemplary control of the semiconductor switch 20 by the switching electronics 50):
  • the switching electronics 50 then switches the semiconductor switch 20 off again (step S18) by reducing the voltage required to drive the IGBTs to such an extent that the IGBTs of the semiconductor switch 20 are switched to high resistance, So are blocked for a significant current flow.
  • this switch-off takes place after a period of time which is dimensioned according to the current carrying capacity of the IGBTs, namely the maximum activation time of the semiconductor switch 20 (step S12) and/or the time required for the contacts to open completely.
  • step S20 After a specified switch-off time has elapsed (step S20), the switching electronics 50 turn the semiconductor switch 20 back on (step S22) by increasing the voltage required to drive the IGBTs to such an extent that the IGBTs of the semiconductor switch 20 are again switched to low resistance. As a result, a current possibly flowing via an arc between contacts can commutate to the IGBTs of the semiconductor switch 20, so that the arc is extinguished.
  • the electronic switching system 50 switches the semiconductor switch 50 off again (step S26) by again reducing the voltage required to drive the IGBTs to such an extent that the IGBTs of the semiconductor switch 20 are switched to high resistance and block. Now the semiconductor switch 20 can finally remain switched off until the contacts are to be actuated again.
  • further switch-on and switch-off processes can be initiated by the switching electronics 50, depending on the requirements of the switching device, in particular its mechanical contact apparatus and the risk of arcing.
  • the time of the commutation to the IGBT of the semiconductor switch 20, which has already been turned on, can be detected by a current transformer 60 located there.
  • the current converter 60 generates a signal as soon as the IGBTs of the Semiconductor switch 20, a current begins to flow, so the current flow commutes from the first mechanical contact arrangement 10 to the semiconductor switch 20 (step S14).
  • the signal generated by the current converter 60 and signaling the commutation is fed to the switching electronics 50, which can control the semiconductor switch 20 as a function of this, as described below.
  • the switching electronics 50 can control the semiconductor switch 20 in such a way that the IGBTs of the semiconductor switch 20 become blocking again (step S18) after a short current flow time or current conduction time (step S16) defined or specified via the control electronics, so that the commutated load current in the semiconductor switch 20 is led to zero within the defined period of time.
  • the current flow time can be dimensioned via the switching electronics 50 such that when a brief switching arc forms at the isolating contacts after it has been extinguished, there is sufficient time for the switching gap to solidify again. This is particularly important in the case of air gaps for high currents. Comparably short resolidification times can be achieved when using vacuum interrupters for the mechanical separation, which is advantageous for minimizing the current flow time in the IGBTs.
  • such a switching arrangement can be used both for DC currents with any direction of current flow and for AC voltages of different frequencies, the switching time not being dependent on the phase angle due to the independent supply of the control module.
  • a protective device for example in the form of a varistor 70, upstream of the semiconductor switch 20 or to connect it in parallel.
  • the present invention is particularly suitable for use in contactors, circuit breakers and motor protection switches that are designed in particular for operation with direct currents and/or low-frequency currents. It enables high direct currents and low-frequency currents to be switched with a comparatively long electrical service life, since long arcing times and long current loads on the semiconductor switch can be avoided. Furthermore, these properties allow the realization of comparatively compact switching devices for high currents.
